Ex-Witcher Devs' Dark PS5 RPG Dawnwalker Revealed with a Tiny Gameplay Glimpse

Hyped since last year, The Blood of Dawnwalker finally got its big reveal today. Well, technically.

What we actually got was a 45-minute livestream, most of which consisted of various development staff telling us how great the game is going to be, without actually showing it.

In the end, we got a tiny glimpse of gameplay footage, alongside a four-minute CG trailer that sets the tone.

For those out of the loop, this is the first game in a new series from developer Rebel Wolves — a studio spearheaded by ex-CD Projekt Red developers. It's a dark fantasy RPG, primarily about vampires.

You play as a young man named Coen, who has just thirty days and thirty nights to save his family from the big bad. It sounds as though this time limit will be a key part of the game's structure, and it'll often force you to make tough decisions in order to progress.

Rebel Wolves says we'll see a full gameplay reveal at some point this summer. We assume Geoff Keighley's got dibs on that one.

What do you make of Dawnwalker? Do devs need to stop doing these presentations if they don't actually have any meaningful gameplay to share? Keep your blade sheathed for now in the comments section below.
